This auction is for a rare, original 1st pressing copy of the Beatles LP 'Help!' on the Parlophone label. This copy features the Times New Roman tyle labels.
This is a really, really nice example of this classic Beatles LP. 1965 was over 50 years ago now and the vast majority of copies of the original Beatles albums in general turn up today in a pretty trashed, well-loved state. This copy, however, has been stored exceptionally well during its life and survives today in a truly wonderful condition! Check out the photos below!
...
The cover is looking exceptional for its age! The vast majority of copies turn up with the covers in a pretty poor state, but this one is looking beautiful. The front is a lovely, light cream colour with full, warm, rich colours on the guys. The laminate has a wonderful, rich shine to it and shows no signs of any dirt buildup or wear. There's just a couple of little creases here and there around the edges and the corners at the top and bottom of the spine have rounded a little but, overall, the front is looking exceptional! The bottom seam has just a few tiny little flakes of wear but is holding tightly with no splitting. The top seam is holding perfectly. The spine is holding tightly with no splits or anything, and just a tiny flake of wear that has obscured some of the spinetext, but overall is looking very nice. The back cover is looking so, so clean (the unlaminated backs were so prone to wear and dirt buildup) with the cream overflaps stuck tight with just a few little creases here and there. There's a very small repairjob at the bottom left (I've photographed this and you can see it above) but, overall, the back - and the cover as a whole - is looking so, so good for its age! Inner Sleeve (Visually Graded Only!!) : EX
The original inner sleeve is included and is looking really nice with just some light creasing in the corners and just a little wear along the fragile mouth edge. The plastic inner is still stuck tightly and there are no splits or tears or anything. Very nice! Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : EX+

The playing surface has a really nice, sharp shine to it and the playing surface has nothing more than a few very light, faint little scuffs here and there. Very, very nice disc!!

The labels are clean, crisp and clear with bright text. There's a little, light spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole..
